What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Fly 160 over Cook Strait towards NZWN and make approach to land
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

There should be airport hinterland. You see instead a five storey apartment block to the east of the runway threshold - very unnerving when approaching even in a small aircraft. Who would put a residence or office tower that close to a civilian airport?

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

I suspect this is a problem with the random buildings that are placed in urban areas. Best way to fix this is by creating a custom landclass. The v0 data is very, very bad around this airport...

Just look at the link below and switch between Landcover-DB and Google Satellite layers. You'll see the urban area is blocking the (in reallife clear of terrain) appproaches.

Solved. We just went into the scenery and took it out.
